How to use Mortgage Calculator
- Enter the home price and your down payment. The tool shows your down payment as a live percentage and the loan amount it leaves you.
- Pick your loan term (30, 20, 15 or 10 years) and type the interest rate (APR) your lender quoted.
- Add yearly property tax, yearly homeowners insurance, and any monthly HOA dues to see your true all-in payment.
- Read the big number — that's your full monthly payment. The breakdown below splits it into principal & interest, tax, insurance and HOA.
Common use cases
- Budgeting before you house-hunt. Find the price range whose monthly payment fits your budget before you start touring homes, so you never fall in love with something you can't afford.
- Comparing loan terms. See exactly how much a 15-year loan saves in total interest versus a 30-year — and what it costs you per month — to decide which term fits.
- Down-payment planning. Watch how a bigger down payment lowers both your loan amount and monthly payment, so you can decide how much cash to put down.
- Checking a lender's quote. Plug in the rate and term a lender gave you to confirm the monthly payment they quoted actually adds up.
Tips
- The payment shown is PITI — principal, interest, taxes and insurance — the real number that hits your bank account, not just principal & interest.
- Property tax and insurance are usually collected monthly into an escrow account, which is why we fold them into the monthly figure.
- A rule of thumb: keep total housing cost under about 28% of your gross monthly income.
- Dropping the rate by even 0.5% can save tens of thousands over a 30-year loan — always shop multiple lenders.
Troubleshooting
- My payment looks higher than a lender's estimate.
- Many lender teasers show only principal & interest. This tool includes tax, insurance and HOA, which is the amount you'll actually pay each month.
- I don't know my property tax or insurance.
- Estimate: US property tax averages ~1.1% of home value per year, and homeowners insurance ~$1,200–$2,000/year. Set them to 0 to see principal & interest only.
Frequently asked questions
- Does this mortgage calculator include property tax and insurance?
- Yes. Enter your yearly property tax, yearly homeowners insurance and monthly HOA, and the payment shown is the full PITI amount you'll actually pay each month.
- What interest rate should I use?
- Use the APR your lender quoted. If you're just estimating, national average 30-year rates are widely published — start there and adjust for your credit.
- Is a 15-year or 30-year mortgage better?
- A 15-year loan has a higher monthly payment but far less total interest. A 30-year is cheaper monthly but costs much more over the life of the loan. Try both and compare the total interest.
- How much down payment do I need?
- Conventional loans often want 20% to avoid PMI, but many programs accept 3–5%. A bigger down payment lowers your loan amount, monthly payment and total interest.
- Is my data sent anywhere?
- No. The whole calculation runs in your browser. Nothing you type is uploaded or stored.
